Happy Tuesday! Here’s what we have for you today:
Maureen Mullarkey promotes a Christmas quiz .
Peter Leithart is reading about: the desire for glory, the Ukraine , political judgments , Augustine and just war , Starcraft , violence , and the dance of history .
Dr. Boli is running a caption contest .
Here at First Thoughts , we have the results of a (different) Christmas poll, a few thoughts on the devil, a look at the rise of religious populism , and a look at the shape of evil .
And On the Square today, Elizabeth Scalia has a story about a shepherd , while John Murdock remembers A Charlie Brown Christmas .
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
